The Job of a Human Resources Employee is hard work, especially when it comes to handle hundreds or thousands of Job Applications. Often, the Cover Letters are coming in unstructured formats.. Keeping these data in order and prioritize interesting job applications can be difficult.
This Bluemix application is leveraging IBM Watson services which are helping:
- Using the Tone Analyzer to get the emotions of the cover letter and job descriptions.
- Using Personality Insights to get more insights of the applicant
- Using Alchemy Language to get the keywords used in the text in jobs and job applications.
The Application is available here: https://hrassistant.eu-gb.mybluemix.net/
The handling of the application should be self-explaining. However, here are some key points:
The application make use of 2 external OSGi plugins to do the heavy lifting of JSON Conversion and connection with Cloudant. The OSGi plugins, including the update sites can be found in the Bitbucket repositories.
